Anyone else have a mix of metastatic and non-metastatic breast cancer?

(Please be gentle. I'm having a hard time and feeling fragile. And struggling to find the right words to express myself.)

In my left breast, I have +++ that spread to many bones (de novo stage 4).

In my right, ++- that is contained.

I'm wondering if anyone else is managing something like this? Did you do any localized treatment, beyond systemic chemo/meds/whatever? I have a meeting with a surgeon coming up, because I worry the ++- will also spread and as mutations happen, it might be harder to manage them both. I'm hoping for a lumpectomy to remove it, but my oncologist thinks surgery will have 0 benefit.

Thanks to anyone who has any insights.

Hope you all are having an okay night.
